Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 562

Mo Zhonggui looked at Shen Lingjun without saying a word.

Shen Lingjun felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look up at him, lacking the courage to meet his cold and disappointed gaze.

"I'm sorry, you could have killed him just now, if it weren't for saving me..."

If it weren't for her, Mo Zhonggui would have already avenged the blood feud of that year, but now she has once again allowed Fu Shiyan to escape alive.

Shen Lingjun waited for a long time without receiving a reply from Mo Zhonggui. Unexpectedly, she received Mo Zhonggui's hand on her hair.

He gently stroked her hair.

Shen Lingjun shuddered involuntarily, her hair standing on end. She felt that after this gentle caress, Mo Zhonggui's next move would be to snap her neck.

But they've known each other for so long, it shouldn't be like this... right?

But Mo Zhonggui's hand paused on her hair, and after a moment, his slightly helpless voice rang out.

"Of course I should save you. Do you think I should risk your life just to kill him?"

Shen Lingjun suddenly looked up at him.

His tone was gentle, and his gaze was gentle as well.

Shen Lingjun asked incredulously, "Then... I cured him of the poison, and you're not angry?"

Mo Zhonggui gave a wry smile: "I've been angry before, but I already know the consequences."

He once deeply resented Shen Lingjun for curing Fu Shiyan's poison, and did one of the things he regretted most in his life.

Now, he is no longer so twisted and extreme. Shen Lingjun back then didn't intentionally go against him, and now that she's detoxifying Fu Shiyan again, she must have her own reasons.

She was far more important to him than his hatred for Fu Shiyan.

Mo Chonggui continued, "Whether or not I can cure the poison doesn't matter. If he got away, so be it. If I had one chance to kill him, I will definitely have a second. I came to Naihe Mountain for you, not to kill him."

Shen Lingjun stared at him for a long time, and suddenly felt that the resentment she had always held against Mo Zhonggui seemed to become less important in that instant.

People are always making peace with themselves, with others, and with time. Mo Zhonggui forgave what she did back then, and at some point, she was also able to forgive what he did back then.

Those past events, in a moment of relief, suddenly become truly the past.

The past has vanished like smoke, and suddenly everything becomes clear.

Shen Lingjun smiled brightly at Mo Zhonggui.

“I knew it. No matter where I was taken, you would come and take me back.”

Mo Zhonggui stared at her in astonishment, almost thinking he was hallucinating.

He had been with Shen Lingjun for so long, and he knew every smile and frown she had ever shown him, but he had never seen her give him such a pure and bright smile before.

Like the sky after the rain, the layers of clouds dispersed, and the bright and warm sunlight shone down, so bright that it almost dazzled his eyes.

His mind went blank, and for a moment he didn't know how to react. In his twenty-eight years of life, this was the first time he realized that he could be so foolish.
